KBS Spicy Chocolate (2023) Fitzhugh

An impressive level of spiciness, but it doesn't linger and mess up the palate for the next sip. Well executed!

Backwoods Bastard Fitzhugh

Very well executed. A slightly sweet woodiness gives way to smooth bourbon barrel notes. Very well done without being boozy.

French Toast Bastard Fitzhugh

Strong maple syrup notes with subtle cinnamon throughout. Exceptionally well executed and balanced

Crimson Cru Fitzhugh

A true hodgepodge: starts with woody notes found in sours aged in oak foeders, then a quick blast of bitterness before finishing with stone fruit notes. Not for everyone, but quite intriguing!

Utopias Barrel-Aged 120 Minute IPA Fitzhugh

Barrel aging smooths out the 120 minute into a very approachable and deceptively good beer. Dangerously good.

Citrus Squall Fitzhugh

Citrusy with delicate, tart limey notes at the finish. Refreshing.

Sweet Repute Fitzhugh

Delicately sweet with a faintly bitter blend of malt and barley. The barrel aging helps tie together what could otherwise be a discordant beer. Well executed.

Más Agave Grapefruit Fitzhugh

Starts with a pleasant mix of sour notes and agave. Transitions into a heavier blend of tequila and grapefruit. A rich, aromatic, exceptionally well executed beer, and one of the most unique ones I've ever had.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge Fitzhugh

Thick and richly fudgy, but the maple notes and bourbon barrel flavors are missing. If they could be enhanced, this would be a spectacular specimen.

Más Agave Fitzhugh

An excellent recreation of a margarita. A little citrusy with light tequila notes and an excellent, slippery texture from the salt. Impressively well executed.

Punkin Ale (2022) Fitzhugh

Smells like fall. Starts with a little wave of pumpkin followed by a pleasant blend of spices. One of the better editions in recent years.

Tru-Action IPA Fitzhugh

Finishes with a typical dogfish hop character like 60 or 90 minute. Until then, sadly disappointing.

Palo Santo Marron Fitzhugh

2022 edition (while the Palo Santo cask is being refurbished): lighter and more stone fruity with less of the wood aged flavor than a typical PSM. A 4.5 on draft.

Olde School (Bourbon Barrel Aged) Fitzhugh

Barrel aging adds some sweetness and neutralizes the bitterness that's common to barleywines

Kvasir Fitzhugh

Tart fruit notes with a little bitterness. A little too subtle, but that may be preventing too many bitter notes
